the wonderful stone The family suisse
quenQy moved 20 Columbia county, in
this state, where for 100 years this stone
has been an object Of curiosity TO physi-
ci2ns and people in general.
I1e recent history Of this remarkable
stone Is quite as strange IS that Of is
earlier years. curing the bites of mao
dogs and cats, the StingS OF scorpions
and snakes and thu incubation # pOis Il
Gus substances. In 1872 Abe LOckharr,
COlorsd man ia COlumbia county, was
bitten by pilol snake. The stone WAS
applied to the bite. The wonderful part
Of the story is that the man, who had in
Eer-te0 scrOfula, was cured of that dis
ease, and mas had since no return of the
malady. Seven years ago Shack Green,
who iiVed nine miles away, was bitten "
rattlesnake. When found he was
unconscious. He was put into q wagon
and driven the nine miles 70 the
bome of Mrs. Gibson. BY that time the
victims leg had swollen to three times
It's usual size. As soon as the stone was
applied it affected the suffe~er precisely
a. it had its first subject, over q century
before. 4 case which attracted wide
spread attention, however, was that of
Miss Williams, who lived near the plan-
tRtiOn Of General Robert TOOmbs in
Wilkes county. In 1883 Miss Williams
was nOCu!ated from virus ODtaiued from
mad cow. When the fact was discOv-
cred it seat 2 shock through the cOmmu-
nifty. The lady's friends st once resolved
TO use Mrs. GibsoA's maidstone, which
was entirely successful in Warding
off the anticipated danger. A strange
case, however, was that Of tho two grand
children Of Mrs. McGmty of Norwood.
who had been bitten and scratched fear
fully by mad cat. The stone was ap-
Piled 10 the two alternately. The children
were taken to the house by their two
uncles who, sixty years before, had been
themselves bitten by mad dogs and owed
their rescue to the same stone.
Ia fact, there is hardly community in
the CarOlinas, Georgia and Alabama in
which the fame of this renowned stone
has not been heard Of. Frequently the
country home of Mrs. Gibson at AppliDg
is surrounded by vehicles bearing the
afflicted from distant points anxious TO
be restored to health

RUNNING MAD.
Several Georgia Counties Infested with
Mad Dogs, and Many People Bitten.

Several Georgia Counties Infested with
Mad Dogs, and Many People Bitten.
ATLANTA, GA, March l4-During the
past two weeks there has been wide
spread CONSERVATION over the prevalence
of rabies. There is scarcely q community
which has not been visited by mad dogs
In Banks, Hancock, Troupe, Ebert,
Forsyth and other counties parties of men
armed with shOtguns are disposing Of
unknown dogs at sight. pi-table death
mas Just taken place in Homer, in which
the victim was the ten-ye8r-Old son of
Mr.. LOckhart. The little fellow had q
pet Spilz, which bit him one day, play
fully as was supposed.
A GENUINE CASE OF HYDROPHOBIA
resulted. The victims sufferings were
eXcruciating. He was unconscious much
Of the time, with his head and spinal col
umn drawn back. At the mere mention
of water he would shudder and 90 INTO
violent spasms. His death is described
by DR.. Thompson as being beyond pOr-
trayal.
Great excitement exists in Troupe
county over the raVages of a rabid animal
there. A dog belonging to Dr. Roberts
lCIG uCDlG dLu Was dUSGnl several Q6iSS,
Upon returning last Friday he was
mad, and, though previously docile, he
grew vicious to such an extent as to be
dangerous to man and beast.
An old gentleman, Mr.. Barders, eighty
years OF age, was bitten, and is now In
commissions. Passing on, the animal bit
five women and children, besides about
100 head of stock.
h1 IrrAA - III INCr - NJ
Roberts, being unarmed, had to keep
within, while the mad creature had full
run Of the farm, biting all the dogs, cattle
horses and poultry on the place. The
fact that so many persons were bitten has
created the most painful alarm, and mad
stones have been sent for in all directions.
In several other sections similar alarm
exists. Near Sparta Mrs. Wash Winn
WAS terribly lacersted by mad dog. The
animal then attacked Bruce Terrill, but
he killed it.
In Cherokee county there are not less
than fifty mad dogs at large. The three
children of MIR. ElrOd were bitten. The
dOg then went to the house of Mr.. 7. A.
Young, where it tore the dress off of one
his little girls.
A Madison county writer, telling OF
u
dog bite, remarked 1.-The cows actions
were not satisfactory to the family, and
she was killed Immediately"
STRANGE DISEASE
also seems TO affect the cattle. In Canton
a young COW, while grazing leisurely in
the yard of B. f. Crisler, suddenly broke
off and ran all over town, clearing the
streets and knocking down fences. 1t
then ran of into the woods end died in
great agony. Other cattle have been
affected thus suddenly with similar result.
This great affection of dumb beasts
creates much speculation as to the
cause. Good authorities allege that it is
due to t1e severity of the past winter.
For two weeks in December the ground
was covered with snow, and ever since
the weather has been dry, but with cold
spells Of great intensity. 1t is argued
that this great change from the normal
state of affairs is the cause of the calamity

Ia Vienna recently at q meeting of 8

called ''ActinOmy kOse." The name

Mexican War Survivors Look Longingly to

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Mexican
wsr survivors and widows of soldiers in
that war will be chagrined TO learn that
no defnite period can now be fixed when
their cases will receive attention by the
pension office. 1t is estimated that those
affected by the provisions Of the
Mexican pension oil are about 10000,
and it is said at the pension office that
it will be simply impossible to take
up tie cases until additional force is.
given the office. Under the law the appro-.
pristion for the payment of Mexican pen
slons, $500, 900 10 all, is only available
until June 80, 1888. After that time any
portion remaining unexpended must be
covered back into the Treasury. The
strong possibility is, therefore, that the
most Of it wilt 20 back, and the bulk of
the Mexican pensioners will have to trust
to the chances of getting another appre5
priation from Congress. =

The Baking Powder DamseI.

We fear the young ladies who are test
ing our baking powders must be classed
as coquettes. 1t seems that their So
called test Is no test at all, bnt only q
trick, which properly Interpreted shows
the baking powder which they are ped
ding TO be largely adulterated' with -four.
They claim superiority for their baking
powder on account of its slow, foaming,
yeast-like action when. mixed with water;
but this it has been found out results
from the -four and lime it contains. Any
housekeeper can prove ffis fer herself.
Take any pure baking powder, and ad-
ding al equal Quantity OF aour, say
teaspoOnful ofT each, pour into half
glass of cold water. Stir it dasrd the
same f0amY yeasty effect wiIlfShe pro-
duced as shown by the lady testerssz. Add
q little dry powdered lime to heigRten
the effect, II our lady friends are pfsSty
and tiirT in the legitimate female way we
ale wiling; but when they tackle our;
baking powder and try to sell an adul-
terated article by an artful trick they are
the kind OF damseIs the public don't like.

provements have been made and eX-
cellent work done. TO be sure,
there are miles of roadway in and
around Honolulu which need thor
ough maeadamizing, and with all the
money the public treasury can afford
for that purpose, years Of close and
energetic attention will be required
to put every thoroughfare in an en-
tirely satisfactory condition. But
good progress is being made, and no
one can reasonably complain while
the Road Supervisor is doing his
utmost, with the results which are
visible to anyone with eyes, although
many different persons may think
their own special bit Of road should
be attended to first.

NO GOOD REASON FOR COM

So far as the general public are
Immediately concerned the roads
and streets department of Govern
ment is probably the most import
ant. Good roads are usually ac-
cepted by the majority of people as
a palliation of other deficiencies,
that may exist elsewhere, while bad
roads put out of sight the good work
of other departments. We have
arrived at a season of the year when
complaints about the condition of
the roads are to be expected. Roads
which are passably good in dry
weather, are naturally bad during
and Immediately after heavy rains.
But we think it is no exaggeration
to say that there is less cause for
complaint on this score now than for
series of winters past. During
the few months incumbency of the
present Road Supervisor great i'm
